An intelligent guide to managing a complex disease

Diabetes 2 is an intelligent guide to a complex  disease. The book explains  how to use sophisticated diet revision and exercise to manage diabetes. The book offers the good news  that the impending disasters are optional if eating and  living conditions are changed completely. Newly diagnosed diabetics should act immediately and design a new  diet with increased physical activity.

In order to work toward a happy ending, the reader will have be realistic and confront some unpleasant facts. The reader will also have to be open to discover some new ideas and a whole new approach to living. The good news is that a happy outcome is the reward for those who pursue changes in the way they live, eat, work and play.

Here is the Preface:

Diabetes 2 is an endemic disease in all affluent countries of the world. Diabetes 2, vascular disease and obesity are three aspects of the same diet-related problems. The incidence of obesity and diabetes 2 is rising so quickly in the US and Canada that experts fear that the increased demand for medical services will bankrupt the health care system in both countries in the next two or three decades. Drug companies are quickly taking up marketing positions to sustain a multi-billion dollar a year market for drugs that lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure and lower blood cholesterol. The drug companies propose that each diabetic will take between 4 to 8 of the most expensive brand-label drugs every day to mitigate the consequences of eating too much of the wrong food. The cost to individuals and the health care insurers will increase every year until the health care system breaks.

Diabetes 2 is an optional problem. I found that well-motivated overweight people with diabetes 2 could do without drugs and restore more normal function if they dropped their energy intake to below 1000 calories. They used the Alpha Nutrition Program as a diet revision strategy and were allowed only a limited food list (Phase 1) when they began the program. After blood sugar regulation improved, they would then re-introduce Phase 2 foods and slowly increase caloric intake. 

Maintaining food control is not easy. Humans by nature are compulsive eaters. Food control is a learned discipline that must be practiced with skill and understanding. Each person must discover their reactive body and learn how to stay within their comfort zone of safe foods. Self-monitoring and self regulation are essential skills for staying well.

Managing Diabetes 2 is intended to be used with the Alpha Nutrition Program and provides background knowledge, helpful in understanding adult onset Diabetes 2 and the relevance of diet revision.
